Ok now we're getting serious smile We're off to buy the potty this week (we discussed & did decide that was easier then the toilet ring just because we travel quite a bit). DS took his diaper off in his crib again this morning (didn't do it for a few days) then peed on it! Little brat! lol laugh. He also pulled his uh, bits, out of his diaper last night and peed on the dining room floor. It's time.

I have two problems:

(1) He frequently wakes up before me in the mornings and doesn't make allot of noise, because he doesn't pee over night (ever) he does pee FIRST thing. Right now he's in a full crib because we're not sure he's ready for a big boy bed. Plus we live in a very old house & the floors are a little slanted so I'm really worried about him rolling and falling out of bed.

We're going to get him a barrier, but I'm not sure if they are really strong enough, thoughts?

And of course once he can get out of bed on his own that causes other issues. The stairs are safely baby gaited but Lucas is pretty good at getting into all sorts of trouble! (His new favourite game is 'throw things down the stairs' so I have a feeling I will be doing allot of cleaning up every morning)

(2) A reward system he is going to understand. I really don't think he'll understand a sticker chart. His great motivators in life are praise and food, however I'm not really big on giving my already hyper toddler a ton of sugar laugh. Any suggestions on low-sugar but high value treats?

What about toys, like little hot wheels or something? He's young enough I could also just take them away & re-give them too him every few days (Bad mommy! :D).

Or I supposed I could suck it up and give him a piece of candy for doing something as good as going in the potty!
